Mustangs finish season with amazing run in CIF playoffs!
|
|
The Mustang football team finished their amazing run in the CIF playoffs falling just short of beating a very athletic team from Santa Clarita Golden Valley.
The Mustangs, for the 13th consecutive week, fell behind early as the Grizzlies blocked a Costa punt, which led to their wide receiver making a spectacular catch in the end zone for the early lead. However, the Costa boys responded with a 32 yard touchdown pass from QB Nick Carpino to Cole Trejo, who made an amazing catch in the end zone. A few series later Golden Valley responded with another TD pass. A pivotal play occurred late in the 2nd quarter. Faced with a 4th and 1 on their own 32 the Mustangs opted to punt. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies’ punt returner fielded the ball and returned it 69 yards for what would eventually be the winning touchdown. Despite being down at halftime 20-7 the Mustangs fought back.
